Ah, the "Blue Screen Of Death".\015\012\015\012Solution as follows:\015\012\015\012To resolve this problem, start your computer in Safe mode, remove the display adapter, rename the .inf files that are associated with the display adapter drivers, restart your computer in Normal mode, and then update your display adapter drivers. The following steps describe this procedure in more detail: \015\012\015\012

Start Windows in Safe mode. To do so: \015\012\015\012

Restart the computer, and then press F8 while the computer starts. \015\012

On the Windows Advanced Options Menu that appears, use the ARROW keys to select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER. \015\012

Use the ARROW keys to select the operating system to start, and then press ENTER to start Windows XP in Safe mode.

\015\012

In the message that states that Windows is running in Safe mode, click Yes. \015\012

Click Start, click Run, type msinfo32 in the Open box, and then click OK. \015\012

Under System Summary, expand Components, and then click Display. \015\012

In the right pane, note the information that corresponds to the INF File item, for example, Nv4.inf, Oem0.inf, or Atim128.inf. \015\012

In the Command Prompt window, type the following commands, and then press ENTER after each line: \015\012ren %systemroot%\\inf\\INF file name from Step 5.inf *inf.oldren %systemroot%\\inf\\INF file name from Step 5.pnf *pnf.old\015\012

Close all open windows, and then restart the computer in the typical manner. \015\012

Log on to Windows by using an account that has administrative privileges, and then wait for Windows to detect new hardware. \015\012

When the Found New Hardware Wizard starts, click Cancel.

If you receive a stop error after you remove the updated display drivers, restart the computer and use the Last Known Good Configuration option. To do this, restart the computer, and then press the F8 key while the computer starts. On the Windows Advanced Options Menu that appears, use the ARROW keys to select Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER.

If you receive a "System Has Recovered from a Serious Error" message when Windows starts, restart the computer again. This error message does not recur. \015\012
